3 Installing on anetwork Here we use GV-VS04H as an example to demonstrate the basic connections. 1 2 3 4 5 1. Connect your camera s video output to the BNC video input. 2. Connect the microphone to the RCA audio input using the 3.5 mm Stereo to RCA Cable. 3. Connect the hub or switch on the LAN to the unit s 10/100 Mbps port. 4. Connect power using one of the following methods: Use the supplied power adapter to connect to power. Use the Power over Ethernet (PoE) function to provide power over the network cable. 5. Optionally connect the DC Male-to-Male Cable to power the camera through the GV-Video Server. 6. Wait until both Power and Ready LEDs are on and then you can access its Web interface. See 4. Accessing the GV-Video Server later in the Quick Start Guide.

Note: 1. GV-VS11 / 14 / 2420 / 2400 / 2401 / 2800 / 2820 / 21600 do not support PoE function. 2. For the users of other models, see Options in 1 Introduction. 3. GV-Video Server cannot work with microphones requiring power from the unit. Use the microphone that has external power supply. 4. When PoE is applied, you cannot power the camera through the GV- Video Server.

4 Accessing thegv-videoserver System Requirements To access the Web interface of the GV-Video Server, ensure your PC is in good network connection and use one of the following Web browsers: For GV-VS04H / 11 / 12 / 14 Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.x or later For GV-VS2420 / 2400 / 2401 / 2800 / 2820 / 21600 Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.x or later Google Chrome Mozilla Firefox Safari Microsoft Edge Note: 1. For the users of Internet Explorer 8 or later, additional settings are required. For details, see Appendix A in GV-Video Server User s Manual on the GeoVision download page: http://www.geovision.com.tw/download/product/. 2. Internet Explorer 10 is only supported by GV-VS11 version 1.05, GV-VS12 version 1.09 and GV-VS14 version 1.03. 3. For users of non-ie browsers using GV-VS2420 / 2400 / 2401 / 2800 / 2820 / 21600, download GV-Web Viewer to access full functioning user interface. For details, see 3.1 Accessing Your Surveillance Images in GV- Video Server User s Manual from the GeoVision download page: http://www.geovision.com.tw/download/product/.

Checking the IP Address and Logging In By default, the IP address of your GV-Video Sever is assigned by the DHCP server unless your router does not support DHCP. In this case, the default IP address will be 192.168.0.10. Follow the steps below to look up the IP address and access the Web interface. 1. Install the GV-IP Device Utility program from GeoVision download page: http://www.geovision.com.tw/download/product/. Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the same LAN as the GV-Video Server you wish to configure. 2. On the GV-IP Utility window, click the button to search for the IP devices connected in the same LAN. Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort.

3. Find the GV-Video Server with its Mac Address to see the IP address. 4. To login, type the IP address in your Web browser. A dialog box appears. 5. Type the default username and password admin. 6. Click Apply to access the Web interface. 7. When accessing the GV-Video Server for the first time, you must set your browser to allow a one-time installation of GeoVision s ActiveX component onto your computer. Note: If your router does not support DHCP, the default IP address will be 192.168.0.10. In this case, it is strongly suggested to modify the IP address to avoid IP address conflict with other GeoVision IP device on the same LAN. For details, see 2.3 Changing the IP Address, GV-Video Server User s Manual.

6 Upgrading System Firmware GeoVision will periodically release the updated firmware on the website. To load the new firmware into the GV-Video Server, read the important notes below and follow the instructions. Important: 1. While the firmware is being updated, A) the power supply must not be interrupted, and B) do not unplug the Ethernet cable if the cable is the source of power supply (Power over Ethernet or PoE supported). 2. Do not turn the power off within 10 minutes after the firmware is updated. 3. If you use the IP Device Utility for firmware upgrade, the computer used to upgrade firmware must be under the same network as the GV-Video Server.

1. In the Live View window, click the Show System Menu button and select Remote Config. This dialog box appears. 2. Click the Browse button to locate the firmware file (.img) saved at your local computer. 3. Click the Upgrade button to start the upgrade. WARNING: The interruption of power supply during updating causes not only update failures but also damages to your GV-Video Server. In this case, please contact our sales representatives and send your device back to GeoVision for repair. For details on upgrading system firmware, see Advanced Applications, Chapter 6, GV-Video Server User's Manual.
